Ebook distribution that states its cut up front
StreetLib does the same one-upload distribution to the ebook stores and states its cut up front, with a paid plan from $99 where Draft2Digital takes a commission per sale.
Ebook distribution with no cut of royalties
PublishDrive distributes to the stores for a subscription instead of a royalty cut, from $13.99 with a free tier, cheaper at volume once sales outrun the flat fee.
Self-publish to Kindle and keep 70 percent
Amazon KDP is the direct route to Kindle at 70 percent royalties with no aggregator in between, one store only, and its Select programme demands exclusivity.
Print a book into the retail supply chain
IngramSpark puts the print edition into the retail supply chain, a deeper print route than the print-on-demand Draft2Digital includes.
Publish to Kobo and keep your rights
Kobo Writing Life publishes straight to Kobo free and leaves your rights alone, one store handled directly rather than every store through one upload.
